The Canada men's national soccer team, controlled by the Canadian Soccer Association, have not seen much international success. In Canada's first and to date only World Cup appearance, in 1986, the side failed to score a goal, finishing last. A surprising victory in the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup may signify a rise in the team's stature on the continental football scene.
